RENTON, Wash. (AP) — Safety Jamal Adams will miss his third straight game for the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday despite returning to practice in a limited capacity this week.Seattle coach Pete Carroll said that Adams was able to take part in two days of practice this week, but was unable to go on Friday and the team decided he would sit for the third consecutive week with the Seahawks hosting Pittsburgh on Sunday.Carroll said sitting the past two games helped Adams, but not enough to be back in game action.“It helped him enough to get on the practice field and he could get around and all that, but it’s just not up to the level that he can play at and he knows that, we know that and we talked it through,” Carroll said.Adams hasn’t played since Week 14 against San Francisco while dealing with lingering issues due to the recovery and rehab from the torn quadriceps tendon that he suffered in Week 1 of the 2022 season and kept him out for more than a year.While Adams will sit again, the Sea...
